Method
Strawberry Puree
- Combine the strawberries, sugar, and water in a blender. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust for sweetness.
Mascarpone Mixture
- Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside.
- Place the mascarpone cheese, cream, icing sugar, and vanilla essence in a second bowl. Beat them together with an electric mixer until thick and creamy.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream until combined. Don’t overmix; you want the mixture to be fluffy.
Assembly
- Set out eight dessert glasses/bowls.
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger in the mixture (don’t soak, just a quick dip). Place them at the bottom of each serving glass. Break into pieces as needed to fit.
- Add 1-2 tsp of the puree on top.
- Add a generous layer of the cheese mixture.
- Add another layer of cookie, puree, and finish with a layer of the cheese mixture.
- Chill for at least 4 hours.
- Before serving, top with fresh strawberries and, if you like, extra ladyfingers or a sprinkle of chocolate or cocoa
